The Beauty of Genya Shinazugawa

- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- Genya is the kind of character I grew to love more and more during my time reading Kimetsu no Yaiba, he reminds me a lot of Okuyasu from Part 4 actually and when you discover he's just been playing the tough guy a lot of his character clicks. Hopefully this video helps you appreciate him just that little bit more.

You are correct sir
I'm a taller black haired version of sanemi
@Sanemi's little brother yeah except you are a more kinder person that gets nervous around girls.
@@Misfitobake 0-0 why are you exposing me to the world
@Sanemi's little brother sorry but, I am the girl who speaks whatever’s on her mind.( ribbit)You are a really nice person though.
Me reading through the manga the first time: Oh cool this characters back, I wonder what breath style he uses.
Manga: “For his neutral special, Genya wields a gun.”
Breath of Gun, First Form: Shooty Shoot
The gun is nothing when compared to his ability to literally eat a demon and steal their powers. When his gun was revealed, I was like "cool". When he ate a piece of Hantengu, I was like, "Holy shit, that is game breaking."
Found it

After reading the manga i have concluded that Genya is best boi and he deserved better

Didn't know Genya was a JoJo protagonist.
*Confused Johnathan Noises*
NANI?!?!?!
He's probably okuyasu
@@MrTheanoyingorange the man practically is okuyasu

I don't get why Genya was foreshadowed and shown so many times only for him to only fight twice. He deserved so much more screen time
Murata probably got more screen time then him
Yeah. He was a good character but was almost kinda wasted. Well.. He was wasted lmao
Well given the authors circumstances I doubt this is the ending she and everyone wanted
Tay S wym?

Something really cool that some other UA-cam comments helped me realize:
Tanjiro- smell
Zenitsu- hearing
Inosuke- touch

I cried for him
I didn’t think that was possible
Indeed we won't ever forget his sacrifice.
I still refuse to believe he's dead they did my mans to dirty
TCK NoteFrame I felt the pain when sanami( his brother) went up to him and was freaking out
Knowing he's losing his only family member left, just hit the feels
I about teared up a bit
As a middle child i was able to see myself in both roles and man i cried for 30 minutes
he was the only character i actually felt something for when they "died"
Fun fact about Genya, his final tree based demon blood art is actually based off the protagonist's ability from a previous one shot of the author's work and what's even more interesting this protagonist seemed to have inspired Muzan.
I thought so too. I was kind of disappointed that it was a one shot though.
Demon : i will eat you
Genya : finally some good fucking food
Honestly, it's true that the manga feels super rushed, specially by the end. However, I feel like the author did a completely outstanding job in making it still amazing even when it went by super fast. Every character had time to shine. Every character had memorable, emotional and badass moments. Yeah, I wish I lived in a world where the mangaka had the chance to tell the story she wanted to tell, but even when she didn't, Kimetsu is still one of the most amazing shonen mangas ever imo.
when his death gets animated, its gonna be something else. Hopefully ufotable can keep doing the anime
Dude wtf
On god
all of the deaths, including the demons are gonna make me ball😕
Nathan I ain’t ready
Yes. Ufotable will just hand-off their most successful and well-praised anime since the Fate series. THAT sounds like a smart business decision that will happen. >B/

Himejima: Genya, it's time for training!
Genya: After I clear this level, shishou! *playing video games*
I mean his ability is extremely op and probably better than most breaths
Dante approves this message. Nero doesn’t.

I love Tanjiro but Genya has protagonist potential. Would be cool to see things from his perspective.
Apparently he was the main character of the authors previous series.

Genya is one of the underrated character I have begin to like as I begin to read the manga.
Even though he not a traditional Demon slayer like others, He is a one of a kind person that helped the main Group defeat some of the most dangerous Upper moons in the series.
When side character is mc level
I absolutely agree with you. I love Genya so much 😭
I very much agree with you and it's a bit odd that he really has became my favorite from the whole story even though we hardly have much screen time of him🧍♀️
Genya is my favorite boy, I cannot wait until he appears in the anime but knowing the fandom terrifies me TT
Not only that, compared to the main character everything about him makes sense (other than somehow now being able to use breathing techniques and somehow eating a demon makes him a temporary demon or smth), his backstory may have been the usual tragic backstory, but it properly effects him later on, his attitude makes sense (tryna imitate his brother) even though he might be violent towards others it kinda makes sense, his goal is clear, and he is flawed.
Compared to Tanjiro who is almost perfect to perfect, who for some reason can still sympathize for demons who have killed people in front of him and have harmed him and his sister, who wants to turn his sister to human which makes sense, but at the same time let’s her hide away rather than checking in on her every once in awhile to make sure she is okay.
In the end Genya should have been the protagonist, and I wished he had more screen time, or atleast lasted to the final battle.
In fact he and Tanjiro are the same when it comes to powers, Tanjiro has this ancient breathing technique that separates him from others, and Genya has an ability that can prove useful compared to using breaths at some points, and can overpower the demon if he is able to devour more of it, even an upperank, hence separating him from others
So why is Tanjiro perceived strong while Genya is perceived to be more weak and isn’t given the chance to do so, in his fights against an upperank demon? I know the author wanted to kill him off for Sanemi to break down, but they should have explored his power more, in fact have it used in the final battle and be close to Muzans strength, THEN have him die.
Just saying genya always had main character vibes to me
Damn now I wish he could've been the main character.
Well at least the new light novel is more focused on him! (the wind's telltale signs)
yes but no i feel like he could have been the main character in another movie just not this one he goes great as senemi brother i just wish he had more screen time
why plz explain
@@feelbadforakazabutwhykillm7095 a lot of shonen mc tend to become the type of things they sworn to kill (for example eren from aot becoming a titan)

😂
@No don't, don't like her okay I know that, I-I know that '-'
Fr ☺️☺️
Enya, the long lost isshin ashina grandson
Genya is Like Ash Williams’s from the Evil Dead Franchise, that’s why he’s my favorite character
I swear the best comedy in anime, especially “historical” anime, is just pulling out a gun. Gets me every time
We all know Genya deserved better
I actually have a little theory on how Genya is able to become a demon. Kokushibo said to Kaigaku(ch 145 pg 4) how there are those who are resistant to demon blood ,so like Genya sort of is on a safety net that is above water. the water being the demon side. so hes able to reach out and touch the water and have the properties of a demon but doesnt fall into becoming a real demon
That would make sense, combined with his special organs that make it possible for him to consume demon flesh. Makes you wonder what's with the Shinazugawa's since the eldest is a powerful marechi and Genya is... Genya.
i wonder if like nezuko, genya could have resisted the sun, cause nezuko was able to resist it cause 1. she did not consume flesh nor blood of humans 2. she was fully in control and kept her memories and ego unlike most other demons and 3. she had a reason to keep going and live aside from selfishness, nezuko had tanjiro, zenitsu and inosuke and she wanted to keep living not because she was selfish but because she was selfless and wanted to protect her loved ones. this is what differentiates nezuko from other demons and what i belive to be the criteria to resist the sun and genya also fits all these catagories.
and before u say she can resist the sun cause she has sun breathing blood or whatever she dont, yoriichi is only a family friend who taught the sword art, she aint related to him and she aint ever used sun breathing. neither tanjiro nor nezuko are fit to use sun breathing, tanjiro could only use it through great effort and struggles, they aint related to yorrichii.
@@dyppityjoop5912 most likely this is true. I'm pretty sure we never see him directly fight in the sun (cause then he couldn't fight demons most likely lmao)
But Genya is seen turning back to the human side each time he eats demons, even when he was dying his eye colors revert to normal meaning even when he eats Upper rank demons he should have turned back into a human after exhausting his internal blood supply.
As the person above your comment stated it seems that Demon Eaters have a unique ability in that they can't fully become a demon through this process as you eat them instead of turning thru blood, as getting infected (by anything invasive) through your blood and stomach are two entirely different ways your body defuse things. Stuff in your bloodstream has an easier time effecting your WHOLE body whilst eating it usually brings it to where you store different junk and it gets stashed there. So most likely what they're doing is similar to how certain drugs effect your body (in this case because it's the most studied and used I'll make the case with Marijuana) if you eat it, it rushes to your stomach before getting stored in your fat cells, and also getting sent to certain parts of your brain to give you that 'tingly feeling of sensation' which results with less effecting your actual blood stream because it's hitting other parts of your body.
Finally someone that understand how powerful he actually is
Everything that happened after the time skip (the one where the pillars trained the characters, not the ending) the story went full throttle into the final fight which was amazing and I liked that like 90% of the characters died, but I feel like that wasn't supposed to happen until another 2 years if it wasn't for the author's family emergency that she had to end the series quickly.
What happened
@@iliketosaytruecomments3326 like I said, family emergency so she had to end the series soon because she didn't live with them, so had to leave the studio and go to her parents. Under different circumstances, the series would still be continuing but it's too late now, she decided to start a new manga series about space and robots. Obviously it'll fail but she doesn't want to make money from Kimetsu no Yaiba anymore I guess 😭
Still sad that Genya died.
It was way to sad, have you seen the most recent chapter
@@I-am-literally-za-world Yeah I have. "Well boys we did it. Demon Tanjiro is no more."
@@OutlawKING111 unfortunately the series is ending this month, I'm gonna miss demon slayer
@@I-am-literally-za-world Yeah so I've heard too. It's sad to see it go but it had to end sooner or later.
@@OutlawKING111 yeah, all great things must end, at least we'll have the anime adaptation looking amazing and hopefully theres gonna be a kimetsu academy anime spinoff
I really liked the story as a whole but didn't really feel the sense 5(tanjiro and co) were so close as the mangaka tried to make them with a panel or two of them hanging out aside the main three as we never saw them together once in the main storyline.
He was a great character in his different powers and his brother became one of my favorites of the pillars.
ivanbluecool he definitely became one of my favorite characters during swordsman village arc
@@superblanco444 yeah a lot of the demon pillars became great but some too late like the snake one being my least favorite while giyu tokitou and rengoku just being great overall. Ur my favorite male and female are zenitsu and nezuko overall as zenitsu one shotting his evil senpai who ruined a lot of people while in color is one of the best moments in the manga. Nezuko overall was just great and cute as it went while the flip of her stopping tanjirou was very nice
@Hans Hanzo yeah genya should have stayed to his brother and tanjirou but I still won't say it was good to try to force the sense 5 group as friends as they really aren't even with that one panel forced in as it was a miss overall. At best tanjirou is everyone's friend while everyone of the other 5 are not so close aside zenistu to inosuke.
His brother was better overall and glad he survived barley seeing his family aside his dad as it's a better twist than genya living being set up as the main 5.
Well tamayo did make him a demon so it wasn't anything bad so if he dies one die he should be fine but sad for uzaki who was justified in my eyes seeing what the dojo did to his love and father. Zenistus senpai can burn in the underworld for being so evil to many people and glad he lost in a one shot.
I'm sure the anime adaptation will give the group more time together. It's expanded on the spider family despite them being irrelevant past their own arc, so I feel confident it will improve.
@@commonviewer2488 yeah but that's not a fix to the original story as a whole especially with how they took one chapter and made it into two episodes which throws off pacing pretty much and that's not even when they added the spin off chapters or it.
Overall the 5 don't hang out much in story as we see next the brothel arc and train with just the main 3 while tanjirou and co more so talk to unohana I mean flower pillar than eye girl.
Beat guess for when the cast of 5 senses can hang out is right before muzan slaughters everyone as they are all in one place but that would not make for a good cast of friends unless they extend the training scene to show it but by then we want the upper moon battles.
Overall it's hard to find a good place as it's either recovering or training seperate for the 5.
Bleach would need it in the later half of the anime to fix up the ending aside the final chapter that is fine.
I grew to like him and felt so bad when he died. Considering the issues they had, I hope the mangaka can have the chance to be involved in the anime in future seasons to rectify some of the lingering mysteries and add in more character interactions with him,Kanao, and Obanai

I always wanted to read a series that challenges Japan's view on guns as a weapon, or at least acknowledges the American narrative of it being the great equalizer weapon.
Tons of Anime have prominent gun combat scenes. But the reason why the majority of battle shounens don't feature guns prominently as a method of combat is because the gun is too powerful in a fight. It can one-shot anyone instantly unless they have some sort of power to guard against that, so in a fight with a gun, the author is forced to give the characters some thick plot armor, or make the guns useless at hitting targets, both of which just take you out of the story. I mean, just look at Star Wars. I can count on one hand the amount of times a main character was actually shot by a blaster. Or for anime, look at JoJo. The only time a gun ever did anything in the entirety of JoJo were 3 fights in Part 5.
Zus Frankenstein guns exist in my hero and it doesn’t seem like anyone has any inherit resistance to bullets so i have no idea why only one person uses them. can you imagine how busted someone with a precision/accuracy power would be with guns
@@elanadeshina7521 We've seen like 3 gun users in the series one being the hero Snipe who does have homing bullets btw and while the guns are effective against people who don't really fight/are relatively normal like Shigaraki it just has zero utility on the top tiers. Deku casually shrugged off automatic fire in the first movie so there existence is just invalidated by nearly all the main cast who matters.
@@zusfrankenstein8561 laugh in world trigger. Seriously read world trigger it's a good manga.
@@elanadeshina7521 Don't forget that MHA takes place in JAPAN, not the good ol' US of A. Gun laws are way stricter in Japan, to the point that less than 1% of the civilian population have legal ownership of any sort of firearm.

me: welp time to be sad
Genya is also really creative. Using the Nichirin metal to make bullets, and abiltity to maintain himself while consuming demon flesh. An honestly overlooked demon slayer.
Not gonna lie, Genya may have become my favorite character, (My favorite used to be Rengoku) I don’t know, characters that take massive damage and still keep living is just so fun to watch. So characters like Garou (From OPM) and Guts (From Berserk) are normally my favorite characters and I’m always excited when I see them on screen.
Rengoku is still my fav but yes you can’t help but love characters like this and Genya so easily misunderstood at the beginning, those thug outer persona with big hearts just really become favorites so easily.
@@Xaforn Yeah, after watching the movie, I think Rengoku is still number one for me but Genya is easily second

Inosuke: Anger issued, wild boar

Genya: Finally some good fucking food.
There aren't enough series that take place in the taisho period. Its so fascinating and such a fantastic setting.
The concept of wielding a gun being cowardly has always been something I had a problem with. There's a lot more discipline and skill required to properly use a handgun or rifle than just point and squeeze.
this man is an absolute unit and I love him
It's been months and i still haven't recovered from chapter 179... ;-;

Probably my favorite character in the whole series. I cried when he died in the manga, and I’ll cry again even harder when it get animated.
Genya: I aint got the special breathing but I keeps that mfucking thang on me!
as a genya simp, this video makes me very happy. thankyou :DD
its been a long since ive read that chapter, and since then, i cant stop myself from crying over genya and his brother. such a great bond, so sad they had never had brotherly moment before, even through they were protecting e/o.

He’s my favorite character, and was criminally underrated. Ah well, at least he got reincarnated with the boys and got a happy life with friends.
Ah yes, Gun. My FAVORITE sword style. XD
Had a weird-ass dream about Genya last night.
He bought a flat-screen TV, and a stand for it. Couldn't build the stand himself, so he has Sanemi come and assist. He gets it built, and the next two "slides" I saw were of the Hashira and the "Tanjiro Team" enjoying his TV stand. Not even the TV.
It was wild.
What?? 😂 That’s weirdly wholesome though
just finished the manga and cried like a baby

You need to have a breathing technique in order to kil-
"Accurate representation of how a double barrel shotgun work"
"The Null Hashira" sounds kinda badass. Also I see Genya becoming a huge fan favorite in the US as soon as he's animated with his shotgun. Rather than viewing marksmen/gun wielders as dishonorable like in Japan, gunslingers have always had this rogue badass vigilante/villain motif in American culture and I see him resonating with many people once he's shown on screen. The double barrel sawed off also leans into that vigilante/villain "Cowboy Western" motif and is reminiscent of many cultural icons (Especially Doomguy, who is another badass demon slayer with a double barrel) in the US.
I personally think his story is super cool, and think his use of a gun is awesome. It makes feel like, for him at least, slaying demons isn't about honor or strength or skill. It's just about killing demons, and killing as many as he can.
the Breathless Pillar

The asthmatic pillar
Man what a cool looking character wonder what he does

I wish that he never died, why do they always have to kill my favorite character?!

genya was like someone who fights skilled martial artist by using their surroundings like dust and sneaky techniques unconventional but effective
For 4:41 , I also had thought about this since my baseline for Japanese eras is the Meiji Restoration of Rorouni Kenshin and Taisho was after that, so yeah, this is modern Japan. But then it hits me, mindblown if I may say that these events happened alongside trench warfare in western Europe, Downton Abbey and the Titanic.

Out of everything you could have put there, you put Rance.
I love Genya and wish that he got a chance to fully get a redemption with his brother Sanemi also just a chance to be more present in the series. Wish he didn't have to die cause he is by far the best character in the entire series
